And it’s extremely easy to love the autumnal colors that accompany fresh-picked apples, pumpkin spice everything, and—best of all—leaf-peeping excursions.

The brilliant yellows, oranges, and reds have already begun to make their mark in many parts of the country. Their arrival and duration depend on temperature, moisture, and length of daylight, according to Chief Meteorologist Mark Stitz at KMTV 3 News Now.

It’s not outside the realm of possibility—we found five lovely homes for sale in places known for fabulous foliage. Whether you’re looking for a year-round residence or weekend retreat, these homes can provide an awesome autumn.

Western wonder: Leaf-peeping prospects aren’t limited to New England. This contemporary Alpine retreat is located in Utah’s ski capital and has the advantage of being beautiful in the fall. It will also be in extremely high demand in winter, due to its proximity to ski resorts.

Springs and summers aren’t half-bad either. This four-bedroom residence offers 3,317 square feet of living space, so there’s plenty of room for the whole family—or short-term renters.

The 2-acre lot is also a favorite hangout for moose, with some of the listing photos showing a couple visiting the outdoor spa on the deck.
